All: I have a music library full of CD rips in FLAC. CD quality is 16/44.1 and that’s what I have obviously.
I have a great means of playing this across my network through 2 Rasplex clients.
I am starting to research higher quality downloaded FLAC’s (HDTracks, etc) and want to make sure that the Plex Server and Rasplex will handle these files.
I just purchased a 24/196 FLAC version of Marvin Gaye’s album “What’s Going On”. Great album and sounds spectacular! I am listening to it as I write this. Purchased from prostudiomasters.com
I am running my Plex media server on an Ubuntu machine.
My Rasplex is connected by wifi. I am running a Hifiberry Digi+ board, with a coax connection to a NAD D105 DAC. This feeds an old tube amp and some good Totem speakers.
This is the best sounding music I have ever had play on my system. So many layers to the sound.
